This might be slightly off-topic, but I'll give it a shot anyway. I do occationally play around with a 6509 and try to come up with new things to try. Lately I've started to look into limiting traffic over VLAN-interfaces. The 6509 runs hybrid image, and what I did was as simple as:
conf t int vlan 20 ip address 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 rate-limit input 2000000 375000 400000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop rate-limit output 2000000 375000 400000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop I noticed that a show interface rate-limit gave very few packets passing into the VLAN when I transferred large amounts of data between that VLAN and another one, so clearly the traffic goes through another path, i.e through the switch and not the router. What I am wondering about is if there is any easy way to set up similar shaping on the switch, without messing around with QoS, I just want to set a hard limit for drop of traffic without qualifing the traffic in any way. Would this be feasable if I run the native mode, and use the same rate-limit commands on the switch as well as the router? I'll play around with this anyway in the near future, but if anyone has experiences to share I'm listening :-) Bjxrn H.
